Psalms 66:14
12 You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us into abundance.
13 I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—
the vows that my lips promised and my mouth spoke in my distress.
15 I will offer You fatlings as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah
16 Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
